First Book of Nature

First Book of Nature by Nicola Davies. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781406304916.

This is an exquisite book that evokes a childs first experience of nature. From beach combing to stargazing, from watching squirrels, ducks and worms to making berry crumble or a winter bird feast, this is a remarkable book - part poetry, part scrapbook of recipes, facts and fragments - and a glorious reminder that the natural world is on our doorstep waiting to be discovered. Mark Hearlds pictures beautifully reproduce the colours of the seasons on woodfree paper, and Nicola Davies lyrical words capture the simple loveliness that is everywhere, if only we can look. The colours of Natures seasons are beautifully reproduced on woodfree paper.
